Chairperson Resources

Thank you for choosing Cherrydale as your fundraising partner! We're focused on making this the best fundraiser ever for you, and we've introduced new tools to help increase participation and engagement. We've taken the hassle out of running and promoting your fundraiser; below you will find a variety of links to help you efficiently promote your fundraiser and remind your parents about the importance of their involvement! Remember, the key to success is to keep up the momentum throughout the sale!

1. Your Chairperson Guide

You’ve already taken the most important step to raising money for your school/group...you called Cherrydale! Cherrydale has a step-by-step plan for your group to raise the most money possible with the easiest effort.

Our Fundraising Chairperson Guide takes you through each stage of your fundraiser: The pre-planning, the kick off, during the sale, the order processing and delivery distribution. It’s designed to make your job simple and stress free.

You will also have access to great resources such as downloads, videos, online tools and our knowledgeable customer service. Cherrydale is proud to be your fundraising partner! We are here to help you every step of the way to ensure an easy, profitable and fun fundraiser.

2. Your Group Fundraising Site

To simplify registration, and to encourage every participant in your group to be part of this fundraiser, we've created a Group Fundraising Site for you that serves as the main registration center for your participants. This page includes a welcome video for parents and students, with details for students on how to get started customizing their Participant Support Page.

We personalize your Group Fundraising Site with your school logo and colors; and encourage you to personalize your site further with your story on why you need a fundraiser and how the money raised will be spent. We have found that parents are more engaged AND participation increases when the message comes from the group or school. We’ve included a real-time goal thermometer, latest supporters, and automated messages to remind parents of important dates.

Register today to begin customizing your Group Fundraising Site. Be sure to register with the email address you provided to your Cherrydale rep.
